The league action on Wednesday evening produced draws in all the matches as teams looked to claim important points in the 2025/26 season.
Arrows strike late to deny AmaZulu win
AmaZulu defeated KwaZulu-Natal rivals Golden Arrows by 1-0 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Usuthu took the lead in the 17th minute after Sandile Mthethwa scored a header from a Nkosikhona Radebe cross following a corner.
Both teams failed to create many clear chances in the first half, with Arrows striker Thokozani Khumalo coming closest to equalising in the 32nd minute.
Abafana Bes’thende made a double substitution at halftime as they tried to get back into the match against a stubborn AmaZulu defence, with Sabelo Sithole seeing his injury time strike miss the target by inches before Jerome Karlese found the equaliser deep into stoppage time.
The result sees AmaZulu move back into fourth position on the table while Arrows remain eighth.
TS Galaxy, Gallants woes continue after draw
TS Galaxy’s winless run in the league continued following the 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Marumo Gallants at the Dr Molemela Stadium.
The home side took the lead from the penalty spot after a Sedwyn George handball, with Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo converting from the spot in the 17th minute.
The Rockets went on the attack seeking an equaliser and were eventually rewarded when Seluleko Mahlambi scored ten minutes before half-time.
A physical battle ensued in the second half with plenty of fouls given away by both teams as they fought to get a winner, which resulted in Gallants defender Mbhazima Rikhotso being sent off in the 69th minute.
